A few weeks ago I emailed Mike via his Radio 2 website to point out that the Otter's Holt reel featured in the site's virtual session was written by the late lamented Junior Crehan and should be credited accordingly. Usually the BBC is fairly honourable about these matters, but on this occasion no response.

On the occasions I have heard it, I have found his show a disappointment, plugging a narrow range of performers, and a pale shadow of the show he inherited.
